I think if there is a hint of issue.. they will do just that. Especially with the way the collection of understudies, most notably Moses, played this past weekend.

That said, the Giants only give up sacks at a 3.2% clip.. the Packers currently at a 8.3% clip. So if they can apply pressure to Eli, it should help slow down the impact of Cruz in the vertical passing game. That will be vital IMO.

My thought is on the secondary here. While Hakeem Nicks has been underwhelming this season (1 touchdown), he is still a viable threat. So while we have Tramon Williams covering Cruz (or Nicks) we are again, depending on out rookies to make an impact covering another great wide receiver. I don't think the Packers have competed against a team with more than one major threat in the passing game. New Orleans is the only team that possibly comes close.

This will be a true test for our young secondary, more so than any other game. I think they can have a great game.

15-1 last year, beat 'em in the regular season, the week off, maybe they (NY) were pissed about that reg season loss, etc. etc. etc. We saw the result. We had nothing to be pissed about. After that game, we did. Things are different.

My Green Bay Packers are going to NY and are going to kick the fucking living shit out of the NY Giants, I don't care if we play our 3rd string due to injuries.

I think the emotions of the team were more at factor than an "angry" Giants team. T.J. Lang's father passed away, then days later Joe Philbins son ... that's a lot to take on.

Packers run the table versus the division, and they have nothing to worry about. 11-5 would probably be a comfortable way to get in as the wild card, but if those 4 additional wins come versus division foes, I'm confident we've got the division. Bears will probably end up 11-5 or 10-6 and if we beat them again we have the head to head, Vikings aren't a major contender unless they somehow manage to sweep us.

Matthews was ruled out by the Packers on Friday after missing the entire week of practice with the hamstring injury he’s been fighting since the Week Nine victory over the Cardinals. It’s not the first bout of hamstring troubles that Matthews has faced in his career, which is why coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that the team isn’t going to push him back into the lineup any sooner than he’s totally ready.

“We want to make sure when Clay’s back, he’s back for the run,” McCarthy said, via Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The news is a bit better on wide receiver Greg Jennings. His recover from a torn abdominal muscle has progressed to the point that he’s questionable for Sunday. McCarthy said that there would be a meeting with doctors on Saturday to assess whether or not he’ll be able to play. When Jennings does return, the coach said he will be inserted right back into the lineup and expects it to be a seamless transition.

beating Chicago and Minni (2x) are almost a "must" at this point with all of the teams so close in the standings.

Basically this. The rest of our year is loaded with important games. However, my guess is one of the wild card teams will come from the north and being a wild card in the playoffs is not all that bad of a deal. Get a dome game then have the pleasure of knocking out ATL again would be fucking fantastic. I have no qualms staying out of lambeau in January.

Truth be told, I feel more confident with this team playing away then playing at Lambeau ... sad to say but that's the reality. All tho, I would rather knock out the Bears in the NFC Championship game again, that would be to die for!

In reality we do play better at home. Look at the record at home the last 3 years... It just so happens the most important games have been losses against the same team and NY isn't really a non cold weather team.
